The Pay It Forward Charity Event on Saturday, 6 September 2014 at the Marimba Restaurant at the Cape Town International Convention Centre was an uplifting success. The motivational talks from accomplished speakers from different industries achieved the aim of the event, which was to inspire the pupils in attendance.

The success of the event can be attributed to the relentless fundraising efforts of the group of Public Relations and Event Management students from the Cape Peninsula University with the backing, guidance and support of The Bookery’s Nobesuthu Faku and Penny Dare.

The funds raised exceeded R10 000 through various fundraising efforts. Twenty poetry books by Madge ‘The Sunflower’ du Preez and six books by Andile Mngxitama were donated to The Bookery and the Peak View High School pupils in attendance.
